[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 482468, member: 1944"] All great thoughts, but respect is what it really is all about. We had a serious windstorm last week, our building had no power til 7am. We all got out by 10am, yes had a few late air but I was impressed how everyone worked together for the end result. Except the management team, or I should say a few of them. I was not impressed, yelling at people like we were slugging along when in fact those ptimers, and drivers once we got there, did 6 1/2 hrs work in 3. Now in days gone by when I was a sup and we did a phenominal job as such, (days with no power, really late trailers coz of weather etc) I thanked everyone and did something special for them later on to reiterate I and UPS appreciated the hard work and the going the extra mile they did to service the customer. It was a good feeling. A job well done. This guy acted like we caused this natural diaster. It was our fault. I mentioned this to the sups who were dogged by him, and they didnt even notice. Now Am I too sensitive or are we all being acclimated to senseless beatings as "part of our job" I did not get yelled at, but to the ones who were being screamed at I felt for. It was pretty bad out all day, no one had power many places were closed or had partial power, trees and power lines down all over the route. I managed to get done by 830, and not get electrocuted, BUT I seriously think we should not have been delivering at night. Someone could have got killed for a package. There was absolutely zero thought to that, just quit crying and get out your flashlight which is what one driver who called in and said it was unsafe was told. Its a whole different world when it is totally dark, not even a street light. Not to mention bad areas. But we dont recognize real safety issues here. I have a ways to go, I dont know when I will retire, I hope it will be soon, but things keep changing for me as to when I will be able to. Til then, I just ignore the crap, Im totally disillusioned working for a company who used to care, to working for the one I work at now. If I had felt truly unsafe, I would have parked it and claimed female problems, or something. I managed to stay safe by using my brights and going extremely slow, and when questioned about my 1.56 late, I remeinded them we didnt leave the building until 10 and so I had one hour of am time that should have been coded to something else, but no we eat that to. The standard answer is yes the numbers may be wrong but thats what we have to live by, and my standard answer is, "no YOU have to live by them" I just do my job. Rant over [/QUOTE]
